    This is the video that convinced me to buy a T120 after a lifetime of owning Japanese sports tourers ... first time I've bought a bike without a test ride, something I said I'd never do. Admittedly I did take a Street Twin for a quick spin.
    Nearly a year later and I still love this bike, am enjoying it more than all my previous bikes put together, thanks Captain !

    Most fun and best reviewer of motorcycles be the captain. I've had my T120 for 5 weeks. I brought it in for its first service and they flashed the ECU and it made a big difference in performance. Then a had this done, Decat, sleeper pro exhaust power commander and a Dyno tune and it rips!! I own a street triple and a 700, GS. The Bonneville is now my favorite bike!

    Had a test-ride today. It is everything you say - and more! Signed up and taking delivery of one soon. They are pretty much sold out here.
    It is almost too nice to ride compared to my T140 but the beautiful manners and endless torque sold me. Exciting and refined.
    A truly wonderful machine and Triumph deserves major credit for designing a modern machine into a such a classic package.

    Thanks for the review. A Brit living in Thailand here! I do most of my riding in the suburbs of Bangkok. I am an older guy who is close to buying a Triumph for the first time and am a little torn between the street twin and the t120 so was very much looking forward to this review as it was obvious from your comments after the street twin review that the t120 was expected to be a much better machine. The waiting list for both bikes in Thailand is about 2 months so I am trying hard to make a final decision. You have definitely swayed me towards the t120 now though. Keep up the good work!

    Nice review and good video. You should mention that if you want to adjust the chain tension, or replace the back tire, you have to remove both mufflers. Every single time. An extra step that could be avoided by getting a different bike, even a Triumph. That plus tubeless tires may push me to get the Street Twin, but I might get this bike anyway, it's just so beautiful.

    What was forgot to mention is the usb charger below the seat. Everything is better. Designers from Triumph are listening to riders and T120 is something you should at least try to see how usable Bonneville could be.
    T100 was everywhere reviewed as "good second bike to the family". This one is the first.

    Had a sit down on all three. The thruxty has at last raised the bars, to near but not quite comfort level, but being blown back by the wind might help, the street twin felt cheap, the 120 fitted me like a glove, and felt....just right. Papa bear was happy with this porridge.

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  8 років тому

      Ha ha! I see what you mean... Yes, the T120 fits just right. I think that with all the shiny plastic on the Street Twin, and the fact that it is so light, it gives the air of being cheap... But it's fun performance and character take that away. Lots of charm.
      Yes, if I had wanted comfort and performance, I would have got the T120. As it is, I got the Thruxton... :-)

      My rip roaring 8 hp 125, er, custom, now a distant memory, got me in the mood, as the Nolan's would say, for customs. I certainly don't begrudge you the thruxty, it was a mighty fine bit of clobber. Were both 6ft 1, does the wind blow back help with back pain on long bimbles, or don't you get any?

    I test rode a Bonneville 1200 T-120 two days ago. WOW, what an awesome motorcycle. Granted I never rode a "Sport Bike" before but hey, in second gear at about 4000 rpm I twisted the throttle all the way and was nearly thrown off the back of the bike ! haha. The only gripe I have with the T-120 is its weight. Otherwise I want one !!! Wish they, Triumph, did not add $3,000 to the price over the 2015 model. But golly gee, it is one marvelous motorcycle. Now I have to decide, the Ducti Scrambler (which I took for a test ride last week) or the Triumph. Decisions decisions ... Maybe both ? Yeah, one can dream huh ? haha My Motto Guzzi V7 II now feels so lame haha but still it, the Guzzi, is what it is and I plan on keeping it forever, or at least for 5 more years (planning on purchasing an extended 5 year warranty for the Guzzi soon. I mean it is paid for so why get rid of it ? Ok later, Be Safe

      Considering it is ONLY $3,000 more when you look at the design, the engine, the weight... You are going up in engine capacity 50% and yet the weight is the same and the geometry is much better. Such a different motorcycle from the last Bonnie...

      Hey, been a year has it ? haha Anyways, kinda of glad I did not buy the T-120 for now that the Triumph Speed Twin has been introduced it would seem like the type of bike that I would enjy even more so. Can't wait to test ride one. It looks promising in more ways than one. Great retro looks, better all around handling (it would seem) and that 1200cc at 96 HP and almost 100 pounds lighter than the T-120 ! Of course the new MG V85TT also seems like a dream machine.

    I thought your reaction to the roll-ons was interesting by comparison to the Thruccy R roll-ons you did,you seemed pleased but not really impressed;
    Heated grip and screen display, just excellent.
    Triumph should pay you for your videos, they have pretty-much convinced me that in motorcycling you should let your heart rule your head - I was going to go for a Tiger but now it'll be a new Bonny, possibly a Thruccy R.

    I currently own a T100 and a Street Triple so your comparison on the roll ons was great as I was thinking on replacing both with one bike as the T100 doesn't have enough performance to be my only bike. What was surprising was the difference between the new Thruxton and the T120, the T120 is obviously slower than the Street and the Thruxton looks quicker. I prefer the look of the Thruxton, but it doesn't seem to fit me and it more money. I think I need to ride both to make a decision. Thanks for providing the really useful roll ons as its given me a starting point for making my decision.

    From an old Harley Rider, that Bonnie brings back memories of the 70s, for certain. IDk if I would trade my 1600 Bird for one, but it is tempting.
    Wowed by the Thruxton video as well. Reminds me of the Buells I used to ride a decade ago. But the T-120 really nailed the whole classic theme. Relaxing cruiser, with the old school cool. And, at 6'3", it's nice to see there's a smaller bike that might fit. Pushing around those 800 lb behemoths gets old once you cross into the 50+ age group.
    Have to wait and see how they do the first year out. Maybe next year, if I can make the deal work.

    Greetings Captain!I really enjoy your videos, and have been looking forward to this review. I have a T120 Black in Matt graphite on order. Should have it in 2 to 3 weeks. This will be my first road bike, and I am half way to 100. My days of hooning and risk taking are well gone, so I am buying something that allows me to ride around in a safe and gentlemanly manner...... While at the same time looking very cool doing so. The T120 is ideal.
    Keep up the good work!

      +Monotone Man Oh, do not be under any illusion, this will hoon if you want it too! :-) But I'd take it easy to start with. Be careful with the clutch at first to get used to the weight.

      Hi again
      Have had my T120 for about a month now. Am very happy with it. Have had many positive comments, mostly from older guys that had a Bonnie back in the day. I have just returned from a 1200k road trip, and the bike was just fine. I stop fairly often for a stretch and walk.
      Had a real close call with a kangaroo while traveling at 120. If I had been traveling a little slower, or skippy had hopped out a second earlier, things would have been very nasty indeed.
      Keep up the good work

    Hi captain i know that some people love black harley riders mainly but i think the chrome looks very nice on the other models more old school i suppose just personal preference , frome all reviews these new bonnies are a street ahead of the old one with the new firing order and liquid cooling dont know what the old ones are going to do maybe a few cheapies on the market .

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  6 років тому

      The scrambler is much lighter to ride and more fun... But the T120 is probably more stable and lower. Both should carry a similar amount of luggage, but up to you... For flickability, the scrambler wins...
      Try both first though if I were you, but I'd choose the scrambler...

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  7 років тому

      Supernova12034 it is noticeable. The Thruxton is more fun to ride from a performance and handling point of view, but the T120 is more comfortable and more old school... it's down to taste and comfort versus performance and handling and fun... and price too. The T100 is more than capable too if on an even tighter budget...
      Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

    • @Supernova12034

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  6 років тому +2

      Yes it would. It's a bit heavier than the Street Twin, but not as tall as the street scrambler, which are both easier to ride, but it is nice a low, with lots of grunt. Practice the slow riding to start with as most drops occur at slow speeds with new riders... Otherwise, easy to ride with plenty of power but with a light clutch and without and twitchy throttle snatch...
      Hoe this helps! Definitely test ride one first though... Good luck!

    El Capitano! Love your reviews and the humorous banter that goes with them. Tally Bally Ho indeed! Currently riding a 1998 Harley Davidson Road King but finding that my tastes are changing back to lighter, sportier bikes. Before the Road King I rode a HD Low Rider which was a pleasure to ride in the turns compared to the Road King. Thinking about down sizing and Triumph is in my sights. Haven't decided on the Street Twin or the T120, but wanted your opinion on suspension. The blogs I have seen seem to say "Upgrade the shocks!" What sayeth thou Captain? Cheers!

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  8 років тому

      +Whiz Wheel Very nice...
      Not sure. I wouldn't upgrade the shocks on the T120, but the shocks on the Street Twin are a little unadjustable... There are plenty of fairly cheap upgrades like TEC piggy back shocks... But it didn't cross my mind when I was riding it that they needed changing. The ride was fine...
      If you've come from the Road King you might prefer the power of the T120, but try them both and see what you think...

    Hi Capt. Great review as always! I do have a question tho? How would this bike do as a first bike? I have just completed my direct access and am a similar build to yourself and a more mature rider (42). I was looking to get a street scrambler or street cup. However on sitting on them etc they felt a little small and my wife and friends think I may grow out out of it quickly. I never even contemplated a 1200 sized bike but after sitting on a T120 it felt really good and a good fit. I would be inteteseted in your thoughts. Cheers Mike

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  7 років тому

      It sounds like you've already made your mind up!
      In short, yes, this would be fine for a new rider. Especially a more mature one... I am 38 after all!
      Just be careful when slow riding and practise your clutch control... You shouldn't have any problems at all... Just don't push it into corners until you are confident with what it can and can't do...
      Enjoy and thank you for watching!

I never teally considered tbem before but since looking at them properly and sitting on one they have certainly turned my head. Esp the T120 black!! Cheers again.

    • @CaptainRambunctious

      You should be fine with the weight if you practise your slow riding. It will only feel heavier than what you are used to on your Direct Access when going slow. Once you're over 5mph or so, it's as light as a feather...

I have to save up and get one of these bikes. I spend way too much time on line watching videos and looking at pictures of Triumphs.

    Hey there cpt. As a fellow tall man, if you had to choose between the t100 or the t120 which would you choose, it'll be my second bike, upgrading from a cb500f. On a side note, keep the blue side up from a pc-12 driver stateside.

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  7 років тому +1

      Thank you Rhodri! That's a tricky one as they are both in the same frame, so comfort wise, there isn't really a difference. I think that the T100 is more authentic classic Bonnie looking, but the T120 has more power but is also heavier and more expensive...
      They are pretty much the only differences although the T120 would have a little more room and be a bit more capable when carrying luggage or a pillion.
      Hope this helps, but I feel that I may have been too vague but they are both very good bikes.

    I own a T120 for 3 months now. Just one word: lovely! It's my first own bike and it's just (nearly) perfect.
    The only annoying thing is a little jerky behavior of the throttle at low speeds. My Bonnie buckles back and forth and it's not easy to have a perfectly smooth ride within city limits.
    What I'd be interested in is if anybody else recognizes such a behavior. My FTD states that this is quite normal, as the new model have this "ride by wire" and there's nothing one could do about it.
    Is he right?

      Hi the dealer suggested when in town drop into rain mode to ease response a bit and it worked a treat. You do have to roll the throttle a bit more but soon get the hang of it. Try it👍

      So sorry for the late response, I've only just found this comment...
      You are right, but it should be fairly smooth? You shouldn't have to put it in rain mode to smooth it out, but then again, not a bad idea, and use road mode for more spirited rides.
      I find that my Thruxton can be quite jerky, but I have learnt to control that by being more sympathetic with the throttle...
      Thanks for watching and for the question. I'm sorry I took a week to reply! I try to reply sooner if I can.
      TBH!

      +Captain Rambunctious many thanks for the responses. I already recognized a better control in rain mode. Not really ok, but better. And I agree, it should be smooth. So, let's stay in rain mode, unfortunaly without the possibility to memory this mode, and wait for an update by triumph. Nevertheless, a beautyfull bike and I love to ride it. Thumbs up ..... and I love your vlogs ;-)

    Just wondering how this compares in seat height to the street twin (which is,I think,around the 750mm mark?).
    Also,these heated grips,are there variable settings or is it just on/off?.. Not sure if that was covered in the review,haha!
    A fine job as always Sir, TBH!!

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  8 років тому +1

      Seat height is 785mm sir. Not sure on the heated grips, I'll refer to the manual... 😉

    Very good Sir....and yes I did hear that quip about hazard lights and Harleys :D Are the spoked wheels tubeless tyred? I expect they are these days. Anyway thanks for the in depth review, very valuable information. :)

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  8 років тому

      Thank you for watching sir! The tyres are still tubed sir.
      TBH!

    Love the vid. Am very much into the Bonneville range lately so stuff like this is helping a lot. One question though, do spoked wheels in this case means inner tubes?

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  3 роки тому

      Yes they do. You can get them sealed of course for tubeless tyres if you really want them. I’ve found tubed tyres to be a bit more impervious to punctures but are a pain when you get one because you can’t just plug them...

    • @stevedavison7392
      @stevedavison7392 3 роки тому

      Yeah, that's definitely a problem as I tour abroad a lot on my own and often find myself in pretty remote situations. Would you need to remove the and replace (in the way one would an MX bike) or are there other more user friendly ways? Sorry for the lack of knowledge but after seeing your vid and the T120 Black stuff on Delboy's Garage I really think this could be my next bike.

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  3 роки тому +1

      It’s a remove the wheel and mend. Whether a new tube or tyre as well. Depends on the puncture...

    Hi Captain, what is the blues tune you play at the start of the video please? Great review btw as always!

    • @CaptainRambunctious

      That is All My Shuffling which is a free to use track from UA-cams library... You should be able to google a copy.

    Nice vid bro, personally I think they've done a cracking job, the detail is perfect, and I do like the headlight running light, Great Ride & Review, RSM8.

    Hi I plan to demo ride this as soon as I can, at low speed say 30-40 at a constant speed (say riding through a village) does it ride smooth or surge and feel bottled up? I took an r9t out last week and it was lumpy at constant throttle, didn't like it. Cheers m8. Nice vid btw

    • @CaptainRambunctious
      @CaptainRambunctious  8 років тому

      Very smooth! 😊 even when not run in... The parallel twin with a balance shaft is smoother than the BMW
